The Nook is a private standalone space with its own entrance. It's a good sized queen room with ensuite, a comfy bed and decent shower (filtered water). It sits beside our family home, looking over the garden. Parking is on the street. Self check-in is an option, but we enjoy meeting our guests. The Nook sits in a pretty garden, with large trees and lots of birds. It's just a 10-15 minute walk to the supermarket and to Havelock North village with its cafes, great restaurants and boutique shops.

The space
We live in an early 1900's villa, set in an established tree lined garden, visited by Tui's and other birds. A small stream runs along our boundary fence. We have two cats; one is a grumpy old man and the other a sweet skittish girl. We like to enjoy being in the garden. However we definitely take our guests relaxation and privacy into account :-)

The Nook is detached, sitting on the edge of our garden. It sits alongside our house, facing away out towards the garden, so it's quite private. Inside is fresh and inviting with;
* a comfortable queen sized bed
* electric blanket with body & feet zone
* freeview TV (with USB port & chrome cast),
* unlimited free WIFI
* filtered water to remove the chlorine
* ensuite with large shower, awesome water pressure
* shampoo, conditioner, body soap & hairdryer
* linen and towels
* table & chairs for two
* small bar fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle with complimentary tea and coffee (no oven)

While we can't accommodate extra adults we can sometimes make an exception for under 1 year olds by arrangement.

We are central to many of Hawkes Bay's main attractions with wonderful wineries, Te Mata Peak, Cape Kidnappers, the Tuki Tuki River, Art Deco culture, and golden beaches only a stone's throw away.

Please feel free to take one of our business cards to keep in touch.

Guest access
Parking is on the street and access to The Nook is just a few minutes on foot through our property. We have a large garden to stroll in and also a stream and public walkway that you can access, just ask us how.

Other things to note
The Nook sits alongside our family home and over summer we spend quite a bit of time outside playing in our garden. You're welcome to join us :-)

Car parking is street only. The driveway is reserved for our cars and our children's bikes etc.

We leave milk in the fridge, so that you can have tea or a plunger coffee. There is also a kettle and a toaster, plus some cutlery and bowls available for your personal use in The Nook. If you need an ironing board (and iron) during your stay please just ask.

We welcome any advice or tips that you think would make your stay a more comfortable one :-)

Hi we’re Kirsty and David, and our three school aged children. We enjoy meeting our guests where possible, having that social interaction is one of the reasons we enjoy doing Airbnb. We have two family pets; Merlin - the aloof rat catcher and Mitzi - the scaredy cat. We recently and sadly lost our beautiful big and lovable dog, Gryffon. We enjoy BBQ's, wine and good company, often in our big garden surrounded by trees and shrubs.
